Vision loss is a serious problem for both people and pets.

And if a person can solve the problem by putting on glasses or contact lenses, the pet will continue to have poor vision.

However, if the owner understands in time that the dog’s eyesight has seriously deteriorated, he will be able to make life easier for his four-legged friend.

This way, you can reduce the pet’s workload and not force the dog to perform complex commands.

But how can you tell if your pet has vision problems? There are three signs.

The dog stops often

It is bad if an animal often stops during walks and “freezes” for a long time, MOS SMI reports.

Is your dog staring at one spot? Does this happen regularly during walks in the evening or early morning? It is possible that the dog is simply trying to see something.

The dog has difficulty catching the ball

The owner should also be wary if the four-legged friend stops demonstrating agility during games.

Is your pet having trouble catching a ball or finding and bringing back a stick that the owner threw? These are possible signs of vision deterioration.

The dog is afraid to go up the stairs

An animal most likely has blurred vision if it is reluctant to climb up or down stairs.
